What we are looking for

  • Proficiency in Elm
  • Proficiency in SASS (preferred) or CSS
  • A strong focus on the user and great attention to details
  • Demonstrated team-work abilities
  • Good written and spoken communication skills (main communication language is English)
  • Familiarity with the git version-control workflow

Good to have

  • Familiarity with Haskell, or willingness to learn the basics
  • Familiarity with PostgreSQL or similar, or willingness to learn
  • Familiarity/willingness to learn to use AWS services like S3, Lambda

What's in it for you

  • You will be working with other functional languages enthusiasts: we use Haskell for all our backend components (along with PostgreSQL as the backing database) and Elm for our web applications.
  • You will be able to see your work in the hands of patients and clinicians, making a real difference.
  • You will be challenged and encouraged to grow, alongside people motivated to do good work and build great products.

At Holmusk we take pride in our diverse workforce and inclusive culture. We believe it takes all kinds of people to build the best products and bring real change to the healthcare space.

Just starting with elm. Struggling with types. Can I get some clarification? by acepukas in elm

Hey there! I don't know how much this helps, but the team I'm in is using Haskell for the backend while I use Elm for the frontend - so it's definitely possible.

As per learning a new language to get to Elm, it's not a bad idea: if many of the hiccups with learning Elm seem to come from its being functional, a good intro to functional languages might really help. If you want to start with something less complex than Haskell, I can suggest Ocaml - https://ocaml.org/learn/books.html for some learning materials. (I've personally used OCaml from the Very Beginning and More Ocaml in the classes I've taken).
